Designing the Revolution

The discussion grapples with the potential impact of Trump's re-election, suggesting it could ignite a powerful movement towards love and cooperation. It emphasizes creating grassroots assemblies to unite people for social change. Personal stories showcase how genuine human connections can transform extreme beliefs like fascism. The urgency for proactive political alternatives is underscored, drawing from global movements and urging collective engagement in transformative strategies.

In this podcast, I explore the deep and often confusing relationship between suffering, resilience, and transformation. We live in a world where the rational, calm approach to life doesn’t seem to be working – in fact, it’s taking us to the edge. So, what happens when we embrace vulnerability instead of avoiding it? How can suffering, something most of us wish to escape, actually become a source of strength? I reflect on the paradox that lies at the heart of the struggle for change: suffering, when confronted with humility and empathy, can lead not only to personal transcendence but to collective power. Whether it’s the resilience found in the aftermath of conflict, or the strength that emerges when we face the suffering of others, there’s more at play than we might realise. This podcast dives into how the very vulnerability we seek to avoid is the key to true revolution, both within ourselves and in the world around us. Join me in unpacking the lessons hidden in pain, and how they can fuel the fire for a transformative change that will carry us into a new world.

I should have been found not guilty in this climate trial. Civil resistance is being crimininalised and climate denial fascists are beginning to take over our courts. I couldn't use any climate science in defence or even the right of necessity. Instead I had to rely on the conscience of my jurors. Here's my speech to them from the dock, recorded afterwards on the prison telephone line.

Activist Roger Hallam discusses civil resistance against the carbon death project from prison. Topics include global civil resistance, the importance of integrity, and resilience in prison.

Let's face it – revolution isn't all sunshine and rainbows. We've got to grapple with the highs of optimism and the lows of historical disappointments. That's the game we're playing. Some even claim that personal transformation is a prerequisite for effective activism. And yeah, there's some truth to that. We've seen how communal living can either foster selflessness but it can also descend into chaos. The key is how we feel about our activism. It's rooted in our materialist worldview, in our failure to transcend beyond the tangible. So let's shake things up. Let's shift our perspective and embrace a new approach that integrates transcendence, ritual, and the management of suffering.
